Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams at the Teen Choice Awards 2005
Don’t they make a super cute couple? I think so. And such a lovely picture. 😉
Mark Mulder earned his 14th win of the season. Woohoo Mulder!!!
“I feel good now and that’s all that matters.”
The Cardinals are 76-44 and passed the Chicago White Sox (74-44) for the best record in the major leagues. Mulder was looking forward to telephoning former teammate Jermaine Dye to let him know.
“I told him we’re going to catch you, and he goes, ‘Whatever, dude,”’ Mulder said. “We caught them.”
…This was the 10th shutout of Mulder’s career, and his 24th complete game. Last year, he was 12-2 with a 3.21 ERA before the All-Star break and 5-6 with a 6.13 ERA the rest of the way.
“There’s nothing different, I just got into a funk last year, that’s it,” Mulder said. “It’s going to happen to somebody at some point in their career.
“A couple of years ago I had 10 or 11 wins in the second half so it’s pointless, it’s just how it happened.”
Mulder contributed two hits to an 11-hit attack, including a run-scoring single in the seventh for his second RBI of the year that made it 4-0. He is 76-10 in 97 career starts when his team scores four or more runs, and is 12-1 with a 1.96 ERA at night and 1-5 with a 7.57 ERA during the day.
“Until someone pointed it out I didn’t know it,” Mulder said. “Now people are making a story of it, but to me I didn’t really know about it.”
My A’s played too.
Sometimes I just take it too personally and let sadness seep into my skin because of baseball. How silly is that? My A’s lost and don’t deserve first mention in today’s post. I’m so mean!

I’m not too happy that they lost. What else can I say? They’d better shape up for Friday’s game because we’re sitting suite side and they must win! Yes, they must!
